That isn't what the Constitution says.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Wrong.

He did get due process. I don't think you understand what due process is. Generally, unless there's a specific reason, bar complaints like this are run similarly to any court proceeding. People can testify, produce evidence, etc. Due process doesn't necessarily mean it has to take place in court, and since Eastman isn't charged with committing a crime in California, he is in a half dozen other states though, the California bar is taking steps to discipline him due to his conduct. So yes he has had his day in court and they still recommended to suspend him, which is on hold pending his appeal. If there was no due process involved, they wouldn't wait. Him being charged with several felonies in various states weighs heavily on this because he violated ethical and professional conduct. So even if he manages to escape being convicted or pleading guilty, the bar still believes he acted improperly and will take action to discipline him because of his conduct.

He's been disbarred. Unless there's some compelling reason that he neglected to mention, his appeal will most likely be denied.

That's usually how it works. It just lacks the formality, which comes later, but in most cases a state bar association recommending disbarment is pretty serious. They wouldn't do that unless they felt like there were serious ethical rules broken, or other problems. In Eastman's case, what he did was so breathtakingly stupid, and then instead of apologizing he doubled down, they aren't left with much choice.

Pretty much. Unless there's something they missed in the hearing about it. Or there's new evidence that hasn't been seen. We had a former county attorney who got disbarred for basically doing the same kind of thing.

You know Eastman got disbarred for his dishonesty right?

There's a surprise.

Trump 7:16 "Well, you know, I mean, I'm the best Christian, and I'm not afraid to say it. Other people are Christians, but let me tell you, in all seriousness, no one loves God, or is more humble than me, it's a fact. Look it up, and you'll see. I put other Christians to shame. I always have because, I know how to get things done. It's what I do."

It was very funny to hear him talk.

A guy who hangs around poor people and prostitutes would have probably had a quick wit about him. I don't think Jesus would have been the type to get angry over a good joke.

I tend to think that the people these holidays are based on would have a sense of humor. Apparently Jesus was pretty self deprecating.

I had an economics professor once tell me that Trump's economic policies were a "f---ing disaster " This from a normally mild mannered guy who spoke with a nearly incomprehensible Irish accent.

NATO leaked a memo sent to them by the State Department. It advised that a briefing for Trump should: Be a max of three pages long Should be mostly pictures Should praise Trump regularly or he wouldn’t read it.

I'm still waiting to hear a winding explanation how this is acceptable or not a big deal but what people who happen to be Democrats did was worthy of going to prison.

That sounds like something Trump would say, except he wouldn't be trying to be funny.

I tend to believe Trump hasn't really read much in his life. During his first term he actually complained that daily intelligence briefings had too many words, and preferred to be shown graphs and charts that explained things. There's an outside chance he might even be functionally illiterate.
